I'm curious, does anyone use a soldering kit to fix wire pieces into place or alter them? Why or why not?

hm, I never have. Partly because I'm a purist, partly because I'm lazy I guess. XD

Thanks! I ask because I see some people like to finish the end of their wire with a ball, rather than a swirl. I was curious how that is accomplished. I also wonder if the sturdiness of a piece of jewelry is ever a concern.

I think technique is only the way, art expression is the goal (with some durability, user comfort etc.). And I am willing to use whatever is needed to accomplish that :)
Most of really good wire wrappers use soldering too.

Hey hey again! I mentioned making an Icon for this group, but I forget if you wanted me to or not, i had this weird feeling all last week that I was forgetting something, and I found a file that I'd started making one, but i couldnt remember if you actually wanted one or not...

Forgive me, I've been very busy for right after I offered until now, but if you would in fact like a pretty icon I can still make you one. :D
